William M. Meyer

William M. Meyer chose a career in law to pursue advocacy on behalf of the disenfranchised, a commitment rooted in many summers spent working with youth and camp programs. After attending Emerson College and becoming acquainted with the populations served by its Communication Sciences and Disorders program, Will found a natural calling in special education law.

Will has represented students with disabilities since 2004, beginning as a law student at American University’s Washington College of Law, where he advocated for juvenile clients through the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia. Following a year-long housing court litigation clinic, he moved to New York and joined Advocates for Children (AFC). There, he represented families of students with disabilities from low-income backgrounds at IEP meetings and impartial hearings, trained and supervised pro bono attorneys from major law firms, and led workshops on special education law and advocacy for parents, teachers, and community professionals.

Will is a partner at SkyerLaw and has been at attorney at the firm since 2012. He is one of the firm’s most experienced litigators and researchers, with a strong record of success in impartial hearings and appellate matters. Will frequently leads trainings and speaks at continuing legal education seminars for parents, educators, and attorneys. He also serves as the firm’s unofficial “technology czar,” with expertise in law practice management and case management systems, and is a certified Small Claims Arbitrator in New York City.

Will lives in New Jersey with his wife and two children. In his free time, he enjoys taking his family on bike rides and offbeat adventures.
